RIP Doc

I've been on pfm since 2007. Had a few years off from time to time. Every time I go back it's just the same.

Scrub that. I used my email and I think I'm back in . Muhahaha

Hello Paul. I thjnk i must have been banned from TAS (probably a comment about fuses) as when I put my username in and do the forgot my password thing, it says username does not exist.

Sad times. It is very quiet here though. I shall try and join the maverick forum to keep in touch. I will miss you lot as it has become like a family.

My thirty five year old compressor has emptied its load for the final time 😂 A 110 litre, 4mm steel cylinder with rounded ends 🤔 The motor is shagged and the compressor unit was missing a piston ring so time to say goodbye. But........if I was still buggering about making crap speakers then...

Aye, that extra inch makes all the difference 😗

The speakers I got given for my son are Wharfedale delta 5. There is very little about them on the Internet. 1980's chipboard offerings with awful plastic spring connectors on the back that only take bare wire. They had to go. Made a plate out of aluminum and fitted some nice binding posts out...

Happy Birthday Fret. Hope you're having a good day 🥳

Imgur is no longer working in the UK. I can't be arsed trying the vpn work around so it's byebye imgur from me. No more pics on here as thd ones straight from my phone say file too big.

My 15 year old son has started buying vinyl and wants something to play it on. Damn it, I was happily ignoring hifi but now he's made me think about it. Cobbling together a little lash up. Aiwa parallel tracking turntable (a shit relic recently given to me), project mm phono amp, denon micro...

Hey Fret. I'm very sad to hear of your worsening eyesight troubles. I hope it works out for you. You are one of the best people I have had anything to do with in online hifi nerd land. I know bugger all about guitars so can't join in this conversation. I haven't been hanging around here much...

What were the England fans singing at the match today ?

Went to Newby Hall (near Boroughbridge) last weekend. Had a nice day out. Walking through the lovely gardens wildlife spotting
